Elliot's War

The Welsh and the English. Celts and invaders. Captors and prisoners. Victors and slaves. Let the war games begin The woodland war is billed by the university as an important exploration of differing cultural traditions within the British Isles. As far as Elliot understands it, the game involves the local Welsh students and those who invade the university from across the border, waging a war in the woodlands that surround the university.Elliot s not quite sure how he ended up agreeing to take part in the war game. Nor is he entirely sure how he ended up running through the forest wearing a skimpy toga while being chased by a dozen Celtic warriors all of them painted a very historically inaccurate shade of blue woad.For better or worse, Elliot s about to get an education that wasn t advertised in the university prospectus.Reader Advisory: This story has been previously released as part of the Gaymes anthology by Total-E-Bound
